Addressing Student Misconceptions Concerning Electron Flow in Aqueous Solutions with Instruction Including Computer Animations and Conceptual Change Strategies.
Sanger, Michael J.; Greenbowe, Thomas J.
International Journal of Science Education, v22 n5 p521-37 May 2000
Investigates the effects of both computer animations of microscopic chemical processes occurring in a galvanic cell and conceptual-change instruction based on chemical demonstrations on students' conceptions of current flow in electrolyte solutions. Finds that conceptual change instruction was effective at dispelling student misconceptions but computer animations did not appear to affect student test responses. (Contains 36 references.)
